"Nico, we've got a problem," Max says over his earbud, looking at the group surrounding him. It had been easy enough to block the attack on himself, since it was a large scale attack rather than aimed, but he’s worried about Trent. The other teen has gone perfectly still, his hands clenched at his sides. He moves closer, trying to read his mind--

'Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death--'

Max doesn't recognize the words, but it seems that it's keeping Trent from freaking out. That's all he really needs. He reaches up, pressing a hand to Trent's forehead and tapping into his mind. A wall that's already building itself develops fully in Trent's mind.

Trent looks up. "Thanks," he says. “Emily?” he asks, looking for his girlfriend.

“I’m looking for them, but I don’t have much experience, and I’m still fighting off the attack,” Emily says, touching her temples even though it doesn’t help. It’s probably for the look of it—she is from the Star Spangled school of posing, after all.

“Don’t worry about that right now. We need to clean this mess up,” Max says as he turns to Aubrey, only to curse as he sees the healer floating. There's a bright glow surrounding her that's about to go off if he doesn't wake her from her terror.

He takes to the air, trying to push through her natural defenses without hurting her. It's like shoving through pure honey, he thinks as he grits his teeth and pushes harder. The power pulses and then shoots out in all directions. That brief moment allows him to reach her--

"Don't stop her!" Emily says as his fingers touch Aubrey's forehead.

"What?" Max asks.

"I think she’s helping people break free," she explains. “It’s sort of that instinctive thing she does—”

"But she's stuck," Max says, pressing a hand to Aubrey's forehead and breaking her free of the terror that's gripping her. "I would let millions of norms suffer a bit of a fright before I let one of our own," he says coldly.

"That's not very considerate," Aubrey says, landing. Her eyes stop glowing.

"Sure it is--especially when I think the two of us working together can do it without freaking out," he says. "Take my hand--"

"Wait," Trent says. "Keliah, Carla and Bombastic are in there. We HAVE to get them first before they hurt someone."

"Point," Max says. "I'll go after Bombastic, you go after Carla, you're the only one that has a chance of keeping up with her. Emily, you take Keliah. Meet back here. Aubrey, try and free as many as you can while we're gone."

The group nods and heads out, leaving Aubrey standing on the roof with her hands out to the crowds, her eyes closing and her jaw tightening as she tries her best.
